Mothra vs. Godzilla (モスラ対ゴジラ, Mosura tai Gojira?) is a 1964 Japanese science fiction kaiju film produced by Toho. Directed by Ishirō Honda, and featuring special effects by Eiji Tsuburaya, the film starred Akira Takarada, Kenji Sahara and Hiroshi Koizumi. The fourth film in the Godzilla series, it was the first film where Toho began bringing in monsters from other productions into the Godzilla films as Godzilla crossed paths with Mothra. This trend would continue later that year with Rodan in the film Ghidorah the Three Headed Monster.
The film was released theatrically in the United States in the Summer of 1964 (just four months after its Japanese debut) by American International Pictures as Godzilla vs. the Thing.
